Steveston Bakery

This place got an ordinary name – Steveston Bakery located in Steveston, ordinary decorations but with extraordinary bake goods. The women worked there were very nice, don’t expect things went fast like the Porto’s Bakery in LA. This is more like a family style bakery. I liked it.

Since we biked all the way from Broadway to Steveston, we were exhausted. I ordered a piece of almond slice, raspberry danish and my friend ordered a piece of carrot cake. I tried a bite of the carrot cake, it’s moist inside. But it tasted like spice…well, I am not so used to “Christmas-like” kind of cake. I would rather enjoy my almond slice. Oh, both the texture and the taste were great, better than marzipan! It’s flaky enough that the clumps fell all over my shirt. It’s like biting a piece of soft almond with flaky skin (it’s not a crispy kind of pastry though). The raspberry danish was not as special compared to the almond slice. I wish I could go back later and try the other sweets, their counter have so many selections.

Just too bad that they don’t serve expresso but only coffee. Well, a good slice of almond pastry was good enough to recharge my wobbly legs and fuzzy brain.
